About installing UNIX agents
Installation prompts you to enter a series of values.
Please note the following UNIX agent installation requirements:
■UNIX agents do not support IP aliases. If your network card is bound to more than one IP address, the agent uses the first IP address on the network card.
■You must install UNIX agents as root. UNIX agents require root privileges to run.
■If you transfer UNIX agent installation .bin files from a Windows computer to a UNIX computer using FTP or some other file transport method, you must use binary transfer mode. Otherwise the installation files will be corrupted.
